Myself and a group of friends would like to do some extensive traveling during the coming months.
We were wondering if we could fly on the taxpayers dime to the tune of over a million dollars worth of airfare, for which we will happily reimburse the government $52,000.
Thanks in advance!!!

They're also discussing the fact that Trump is extremely pissed-off about this (because it makes HIM look bad, they were quick to point out) - which is laughable in light of the price tag for Idiot Boy's weekend golfing trips.
GOP hypocrisy on parade!!!
